Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: In infancy, movement is due to reflexes, not to willful movements. As the infants muscles develop, they become more controlled and the infant is then able to control the head, then the neck, then the shoulders, and downward. This is known as
cephalocaudal development as the muscles refine and become controlled on down the body. At the same time the muscle control is working from the center of the body outward in a proximodistal direction.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Growth is the change that takes place in a person that can be measured quantitatively in numbers such as height, weight, age, size of shoe. Development is the change that takes place in a predictable sequence but at individual times in physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and creative domains.
